I'd also add Uncovering static by Fairlight & Alcatraz as a good exmaple of what you can create in 64k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Xjc7eklxE http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=57449

It sound like your describing Positive liberty vs. Negative liberty, and yes coming from the UK I do find the rules in mainland Europe at time strange. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_liberty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_l

No reason why not, for most things they are going to be interchangeable, think DirectX vs. OpenGL

Guessing here but so they can be turned into a polygon model for easier display, yes you can directly volume render the data but say a 1024 x 1024 x 1024 cube even at a byte per voxel would be a large amount of memory, most of which will be

Well transitioning was something I wish I hadn't needed to do and has made my life more complicated but I'm happy now and the whole process has made me a more understanding 'better' person, so really you have nothing to be sorry about

Still can't find a link to the SIGGRAPH talk but the libnoise tutorial is a nice example of how to code this sort of thing http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/tutorials/tutorial3.html

Ken Musgrave's work on Terrain rendering is worth a look. He did similar things. The book 'Texturing and Modeling: A Procedural Approach' gives a nice explanation of a lot of the techniques and they used to give a course at SIGGRAPH on whic

Nice to see, other people have done similar things for the Amiga [1] and Atari ST [2][3] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimig [2] http://hackaday.com/2010/01/07/suska-open-source-atari-st/ [3] http://hardware.atari.org/vhdl/vhdl.ht

I totally agree, they went out of a high note, lots of good stuff all round. Loved your demo a week BTW

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2j3AGeeLg4 A Google tech talk on 'Graphics Processors, Graphics APIs, and Computation on GPUs' gives a bit more detail on the design of a modern(ish) GPU

A GPU may help with media. GPUs tend to be SIMD / Stream processors. So some problems map well to that architecture, some less so. Lots of GPUs tend to work on four pixel quads of RGBA data with very specialised instruction sets, which are
